committees are meeting with en-
enlargement on every hand and
people generally express their in
tention to celebrate there. The
committee on speaker has been very
fortunate in securing the presence Of
Mai. E. r. Hutchins, of Des
MONIES. He had received numer-
Gus invitations from other parts of
the state, but compllmented our
county by accepting the committees

will donate an OK for the occasion
and many special features are being
arranged. The well-known enter

We have been informed that Elk.

Humanity Pays the Freight.

BY reference to our Gray cores
pondence it will be seen that the
committee on speaker for the Fourth
of July celebration has been negotiat-
ing with local orator, and that the
silver tongued gentleman has set the
modest sum Of $40 per hour upon
his valuable effort, positively refus-
ing to groom the Roman-nosed bird
of freedom for a smaller sum. The
curiosity of an anxious public is left
unsatisfed in that the meagre bill of
particulars furnished by our CORE.

sordid patriot will wind up for a
single hour of whether at the stipu-
lated rate, per hour, he would unreel

capacity for silver and his unquench.

presume that he would enter into
the latter agreement. if he were
clearly convinced that it is the wish
of the people. This is an important
point, however, and should be de.
termined before the bargain is closed.
But the committee, aforesaid, seem
to have come to the conclusion that
the price exacted is exorbltant, when
it is considered that SHE has received
very liberal aid in his business inter

weather on tina: day preventing those from

a very able discourse on the privileges and
benefits of the sanctuary, after which he
proceeded to raise the balance due on the
church building and furniture. Everyone
seemed surprised when it was announced
that the total cost of the building and fur.
niture, including fifty dollars for stoves,
was only $l,4OO, The church 10 31x50
feet, with l6 feet posts, is we'll finished in
all respects and furnished throughout.
The expense, over subscription, was about

was quickly raised and with everyone
happy and thankful the house was duly
dedicated to the worship Of God A
threatening storm cloud in the southeast
hurried the latter part part OF the services
and cut short the hand shaking and con-
gratulations. The rains Of the afternoon
and evening prevented the assembling Of
the people for children's services in the
evening. This will probably take place
next Sunday at two o'clock.
We understand that the Evangelical
church will be dedicated one week from
next Sunday. Then Viola church going

Prof 3. r. Hawk.

We learn that Prof. Hawk has
accepted, for the coming school year,
the principalship at Audubon city.
AS an organizer ofhlgh school work,
Prof. Hawk has few equals in the
state. He is an excellent teacher
who d,ffuses spirit throughout the
schools, and the citizens of Audubon
will find him a most earnest worker
to advance the school interests. Prof.
Hawk and his estimable lady have a
host of friends here who will take a
kindly interest in their success and
preferment. The pupils who for
the past ten years have graduated
and entered life from his tuition, are
now successful business men or
teachers of high rank-and the pro-
fessor carries with him the best
wishes of all.-Denisou Review.

A Valuable Invention.

Local interest has been conferred
of late upon a grain meter which
has been patented by the inventor,
Mr.. John Will. That gentleman
has a meter OF regular size made and
in order for operation, and he takes
pleasure in explaining its workings
and demonstrating its usefulness,
which latter is an easy task, as it
recommends itself at sight. Mr..
Will informs us that he has been
long engaged in perfecting his ma
chine and that he experienced the
greatest difficulty in obviating COM
plications and in making it as simple
as possible. And after seeing the
meter at work, noting its simple
construction, we can congratulate
the gentleman upon the success of
his invention.
a large hopper is suspended from
a cross beam by a pivot upon which
are two scale beams something after
the manner of the time hundred
steelyards, one holding a weight
equal to that of the hopper, the
other balanced with weight equal
to bushel of the grain which 1t is
desired to weigh. The grain is iun
into one of five divisions Of the
hopper, and when bushel has run
in the grain weighing beam is raised
and the hopper lowered. On the
bottom of the hopper is cog rack
which, when lowered, is caught by
a cog wheel and the entire hopper
is turned a distance equal to one OF
the five divisions. The bottom of
the division is let down by a self
acting movement, SO that the grain
runs out, and the hopper relieved OF
the weight rises from the cog wheel
and again is immovable while
another bushel of grain is running
in. 1t is thus very simple, and when
one sees it the wonder is that it has
not been thought of before. Its
simplicity of construction guarantees
that it will seldom if ever be in need
of repair. A great many farmers
and thrashers have called upon Mr..
Will lately, to see the meter work,
and it is uniformly pronounced a
grand success. There will be q
lively demand for it from thresher.
and all handlers of grain whether
on the farm or in the elevator. l,
will pay anyone to call and examine
the invention, and see how honestly
it performs the duties of a weigh.

A Legal Combat.

We are panied to chronicle clash
at arms between two of Audubon
county's legal lights at Extra, last
Monday. The gentlemen drifted
into spirited argument Of personal
importance only, and one became so
indignant at the manner of the op-
posing counsel that he entered ef-
fectual rebuttal with his fists. There
being no judge present to rule on
the motions, the combat was contin-
ued until the city marshal interrupted
the melee by placing both under ar
rest and marching them to the
mayors office, where they orna-
mented the dock and glared at each
other with angry eyes. Hearing
of the case was postponed until next
Saturday. Those who witnessed
the combat describe it as decidedly
entertaining, One of the combat
ant, has the proportions Of an alder.
man and his opponent is small and
supple; so that while the large body
moved slow and at regular intervals
dealt out sledge-hammer blows, the
bantam hustled about and each
succeeding bombardment was made
in a new and unexpected quarter.
Both parties breathed a sigh of re-
lief when the marshal entered his
protest.
1t is a sad duty to moralize upon
the misfortunes Of others, but we
hope our readers will profit from
the lesson of this incident.

A Strong Company.

In these DAYS when life insurance
has come to be considered a neces.
sary provision for mans quiet rest
hereafter, the reliability Of the COM
pany with which he takes a policy
Is indeed an important consideration,
and one may be adjudged derelict
to self duty if he fails to thoroughly
satisfy himself in this regard. 1t is
a lamentable fact that wildcat asso-
Citations are ever on the alert, and
their presence will always cause sus-
picion of all companies; SO that any
organization, werher on mutual or
stock plan, is bound in duty to the
people to make a clear case as to its
own worthiness before soliciting
business in any community.
The Marshalltown Life Benefit
Association, which is represented IN
Audubon county by Messrs. E. M.
Thayer and O. D. Carroll, is strong
and reliable company doing bus
mess on an approved plan. Mutual
insurance has long been regarded
by great majority as the the most
equitable plan offered, as it equalizes
burdens, and is what the name sug-
gests in this instance, mutual bene-
fit association. That this company
is thoroughly reliable may be learned
from the fact that its officers are
men who are and have bced prom
inent and influential in Marshall
town and county. Mr.. Ben o,
Rhoades, the president of the asso-
citation, is an ex-sherif of Marshall
county, while he is man of char
acter above reproach. N. D. East,
the association treasurer, held the
position of city treasurer for success
sive terms, Acquiring himself with
honor and credit. Mr.. G. H. Brock,
the secretary and general manager
Of agencies, is without question a
man of good character, is Union
veteran, having been member of
Co. l., Sth Iowa cavalry. The arti-
cles Of incorporation of the associa-
ton have been duly filed with the
recorder of Marshall county and
with the secretary Of state. They
also carry the certificate of the aud
itor of state that they have fully
complied with the rigid insurance
laws of Iowa and authorized to do
business. The company thus makes
showing that 1t is conducted by
men long resident OF Iowa, who
have met every requirement exacted,
and are therefore worthy of the con-
fidence of the people.
The plan is one that makes safe
insurance at a nominal rate. The
company's agents have met with
very gratifying success during their
several weeks canvass in Audubon
county. They are affable and agree
able gentlemen.

Gracious Rain.

The rains of the last few days
have caused all nature to rejoice,
while humanity returns a united
song of gratefulness and praise.
Gentle showers revived the fields of
grass and grain and frightened all
vegetation. Meadows and some
email grain can scarcely recover
from the effects of the drouth, but
all else is prospecting and giving
promise of bounteous crops.

THE president has ordered that
some five hundred battle flags cap
tured from the rebel forces and now
stored in the War Department, be
returned to the governors of the
southern states, they to pass them to
the companies from which they
were captured in conflict. Cows.
Foraker, of Ohio, and Larrabee, of
Iowa, have entered formal dissent to
such action, with the request of the
q. A. r. of their respective states
that the flags be not removed. We
believe the flags should remain
where they have been kept so long,
the property of our common coun-
try. That department is the proper
place for trophies of national victory,
significant alike to all loyal citizens
of the Union.
